Yup, my experience with "managing" (back during my undergrad days) and looking at bands, it's better to freely distribute the music and tour extensively. Of course, this is for the betterment of the band or singer. Record companies would hate it. Look at bands that have long life span, most of them have a free taping policies and encourage their fans to freely distribute their shows.
